{ Lifestyle } Showing Up can Lead to Freedom, Success and Happiness...

Ever wondered why some people are more successful than others?

Everyday you open up Facebook or watch the news or meet friends and there is bound to be someone succeeding in life, dare I say it, better than YOU.

The harsh reality kicks you in the guts right at the time you need it least.

You're struggling to make ends meet.

You don't know what the heck you're doing with your life, work or anything for that matter.

You don't know where you stand in this world. What about ME? You keep asking yourself.

You say, "I've got something in me that deserves or wants this, why not ME??"

Can I be honest with you? There is something or a few things you are NOT doing that these people are, shall we find out? Are you sitting down because you might not like what you are going to read.

EXERCISE:

So let's do a little exercise, grab a pen and some paper and I want you to think who comes to mind when you think of people killing it? Write them down.

For me it would be:

Anthony Robbins.

Oprah Winfrey.

Bill Gates.

With countless others that come to mind, who are extremely successful in their own way, even though we may not all know or be familiar with who they are.

We need to first look at their habits.

EXERCISE:

With that pen and paper, write down some of the behaviours and habits you are NOT doing as you go through this list below as you read along.

Remember this quote:

"Success Leaves Clues"

10 Behaviours and Habits of Successful People

It is the behaviours and habits of successful people (in all areas of life) that set them apart from those who never look ahead past their current everyday life. That doesn't make it wrong either, to each there own. But for today, we are talking about those to aspire to be successful not those content being where they are and what they are doing, THAT is success because they have created their happiness :)

So, if you aspire to be one of those people you see around you, succeeding in many areas of their life, you have to push past what is currently not serving you. This would be the norm you have put in place in your life that you are not happy with.

If you apply these 10 habits or behaviours successful people do, you will need to get yourself ready for what's about to come next but you must do them consistently!!

Goal CommitmentSuccessful people are 100% committed to their goal and will stop at nothing to make it happen.

Persistence PaysThey expect challenges and blockages along their journey. They will find a way, not an excuse. Sometimes they have to say NO to others to make it happen.

Accountability & ResponsibilityWe are the master of our own destiny. Successful people live by this and own it. Complaining about things or making excuses is not part of their life. They know the only person or thing in their way is... themselves. They are action takers, risk takers, movers and shakers.

They Work HardSuccess is not for lazy people. Successful people have to work hard to create their success, sometimes it comes easier than others. They show up, they say YES to what aligns with their journey, they are up early, go to bed late and they put in time and effort to make it a reality. They love what they do. To them it's not work!

Do As Others DoMany successful people look for and emulate what other successful people do. This is not about 'copying' intellectual property, this is about behaviour and habits. So, if you would like wealth, surround yourself those who are wealthy and who are successful at it! If you want to be happy and healthy, hang out with happy, fun and active people. Simple. Like attracts like.

Belief In Their Vision & Self WorthYou'd be hard pressed to find ANY successful person who doesn't believe in themselves, their vision and purpose and who doesn't value their self worth 100%. There is no fusion or confusion (thanks for that term Nols from #TheHotPlate) about what successful people believe, they are 100% focused on the belief they are successful in everything they do or will do. No question. They also believe that success is measured in many different ways and facets of their life, not just about wealth or material possessions, they strive for success in love, family, business, hobbies and other areas, it's a way of life.

Self Care & Positive Well BeingYou rarely see extremely overweight or obese successful people. Their lives are energetic, fun, captivating, exciting and adventurous at times. They don't sit around eating cupcakes all day long. If they do, they counteract that consumption with exercise or some form of healthy balance regime. Their body, mind and spirit is the engine room, they focus on maintaining it to continue on with their successes. If their engine isn't working, they don't achieve as much or as well, that is not acceptable to a successful person, so they will see what to improve and make it better! So they will create balance in life, it will be another success in their journey, they may not always have balance, but they will focus on improving it to keep going with their successes in life.

Rest & RelaxationSuccessful people know when to step back and unplug from the hard work and stresses associated with creating a successful life. They know when to have a digital detox in this world of smart phones and technology, and they will be forthright in sharing that they need time out with their tribe. They will be praised by their peers and embraced by their tribe for doing so. They lead by example and encourage others to follow suit. Watch what happens when they return to their regular routine, recharged and ready to take on the world with open arms. She or he will be a force to be reckoned with!

Continuous Improvement & LearningNo one stops learning, successful people know this and live by this philosophy. It's not about constantly doing courses or going to uni or learning something completely new all of the time. They learn while on the job and in life experience as well. They discover and look for ways to improve, evolve and become more efficient at what they do or want to do. They learn from others, you will see them going to success building seminars and conferences, reading books and magazines that is about their trade from others further along the success journey than they are. As the title of this blog suggests "Showing up can lead to freedom success and happiness..." - successful people show up, they are present they will keep showing up because they believe those that SHOW UP, GO UP in the world!

Make and Learn from MistakesThey are not afraid of making mistakes because their mistakes are seen as a opportunities to learn and share with others to help them not to repeat those mistakes. Look at some of the mistakes you have made (let's face it you are only human! I've made some whoppers! but that's another story!) and look how you could have done them differently. Remember... NO ONE IS PERFECT!

These are just some of the behaviours and habits successful people do, so how many are you doing?

I'm a mum of two and carer for my 7 year old son who is on the Autism Spectrum with sensory processing disorder. He requires ongoing therapy and support for school and life. So busy!

When I was 3.5, my mother took her own life leaving 4 children under the age of 5 due to Post Natal Depression. In 2009, I was nearly killed in a car accident and I came to a crossroads in health, life and career. So, I took a leap of faith and left my high paying full-time graphic design job with a global corporate and started my own design business... Then in 2017, I became a single mum...
